IMPROVEMENT IN `AECLIAN CHIMING-BELLS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom 'it may concern:A

Be it known that I, HEINRICH HERMIANN, of the 'city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Eoliau Ghiming-Bell; and I do` hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming para of this specification, in which- Iigure l represents a perspective view of my improved olian machine, showing it applied to-a tree.

Figure El is a side view of one of the bells used on the same.

lower end pf each clapper to invite the action of the. wind.

The clappers are suspended from eyes a formed within the bells.

AEyes b are also formed on the ends of the bells to receive a wire or thread, whereby the said bells-can be tied to the branch of a tree, or to any other object which is exposed to the air.

I prefer to use forty-four bells for each chime, but any other number may be used, all of them beiugsuspended at -such distances from each other that they.

can all be heard if `played simultaneously.

'lhe clappers are so light that the least breath of air will move-and cause them to strike the glass bells, producing thereby a sound of such sweetness 'and inexplicable delicacy as to be very pleasant to the hearer.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In zeoliau chiming-bells, the clapper B, formed of a quill, provided with a light knob, c, as described.

, 2. 'lhe combination, with a glass chiming-bell, of the light-knobbed quill clapper, as and for the purpose described.

3. The lght-knobbed quill clapper of a chimiugbell, combined with a feather at the end thereof, as and for the purpose described.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 19th day of July, 1870.

HEINRICH HERRMANN.
